Independent Reading - In Class Writing Response Explanation

The main goal to me traveling into Elsewhere was to give Liz advise. I first said that she couldn't come to the Observation Decks (ODs) to watch her old life. From reading the book I knew that she would become depressed by being obsessed with her old life for too long. I then said that she shouldn't go to the Well, which is where residents on Elsewhere can make Contact with the living, although it is illegal. Liz wanted to tell her family the name of the man who had run over her so that he would "pay". I told her that she shouldn't because it would have been a bad thing to do. The man who had run her over was a good man who couldn't have told the police that he did it because he was very poor and trying to support a family. I also told her to get an Avocation. An Avocation is basically like a job, but you are supposed to like it. Liz had an option to take up an Avocation that involved dogs, which she loved on Earth. I knew that she would find joy in it so I told her to accept it. Finally I told Liz to talk to her friends more because I knew they would help her out of her depression.
